If I Bubble in the Answer

*studying for standardized tests*

If I bubble in the answer
I will not do it again,
I used up all my pencil lead
I guess that is the end.
If you grace me with another one
I will whine and then agree
but this time I'll  be smarter
And always just choose C.

When you say that isn't good enough
and make me try again.
I'll throw my hands up in the air
bawlk just like a hen.
But then I get a great idea
I bubble it like so,
To save some time and energy 
I'll just write 'I don't know.'

    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
